Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Paducah, KY


In mental healthcare, true healing happens when you feel completely seen, heard, and met with grace. My mission is to partner with you to navigate life's complexities, balancing clinical excellence with deep empathy. I look at wellness holistically...focusing not just on managing symptoms, but on supporting your mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive.

I believe that to encourage holistic wellness in others, I must practice it myself. When I am not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my children, tackling a DIY home improvement project, or planning our next big roadtrip adventure. I have a deep love for long-distance travel, exploring historic highways, slowing down the pace of life and meeting strangers across America.

I have proudly served the healthcare community for over 25 years, working in an array of settings. For the past 8 years I have focused on mental health and helping others heal their mind, body, and soul with medication management, psychotherapy, and hormone balancing. I treat ages across the lifespan starting at age 4.

I specialize in treating ADHD/Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Substance Use Disorders, and many other diagnoses by providing compassionate, evidence base care and diagnostic evaluations for a variety of mental health needs.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Lexington

Finding OCD therapists in Lexington starts with looking for the right training, not just a matching specialty label. OCD care often focuses on obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, and reassurance-seeking patterns. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people living with OCD, and therapists vary in their training with it. As you compare options, look for ERP treatment near me, OCD experience, or exposure and response prevention in therapist bios so you can identify someone whose listed approach matches your needs.

In a mid-sized city like Lexington, your options may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your search beyond the closest office while still helping you stay connected to care that fits your schedule. When reviewing therapists, look beyond whether they mention OCD. A therapist who lists OCD as a focus area may have different training than one who clearly describes ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or structured OCD therapy. Therapist bios can also show how sessions are structured, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see insurance information for your specific plan, and view real appointment availability. You can compare bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
